        Wynonna's latest 2 CDs are in my opinion, the best things she has ever done, and I never get bored  listening to them. Two songs from the previous one inspired Chasing My Tail and Ready To Fly which both proved popular, so hopefully this one will follow suit - and before you start speculating, I haven't found religion, I just like the song!! The CD is titled What the World Needs Now Is Love.
        I thought this was the hardest of the current batch of dances that I wrote for an event in Caboolture, but the class surprised me by getting it pretty quickly, so I altered the rating down a notch, although I guess the timing and turns may be a little tricky for some people - time will tell I guess - remember that a challenge is good for the brain so don't give up!!!!!
